Subject: What's the point of Disembodied Soul?

Every member of the Covenant shall walk the path. None will be left behind when our Great Journey begins. That is the Prophets' age-old promise, and it shall be fulfilled!

The mods can just send the user the message themselves.

The soul is an automated message. This means the moderators don't HAVE to take the time to send you one themselves.

The Legend of the Disembodied Soul:

An unnamed Bungie employee once jeopardized the future of the Marathon series when he pirated the source code of the game, and later applied the wrong labels to an entire batch of Marathon: Infinity discs.

At the time, Bungie.net was not yet running WTML (Wizard-Type Magical Language), and as such it required a 24/7 online team to monitor the site and answer any questions submitted to the Help section. As a result, Bungie legend holds that Bungie took the prudent course of action and punished the offending employee with a "fate worse than death", as Sketch and several other Bungie workers held him down inside the Soul Extraction Machine.

Now, Disembodied Soul's primary responsibility is maintaining the Bungie.net help section -- a duty that he has been slacking off in -- and handing out warning and blacklisting notifications.

I have seen you future

There was once a Bungie employee who pirated the Marathon source code, then put the wrong labels on Marathon: Infinity discs. As punishment for his crimes his soul was trapped in the Bungie servers where he was forced to answer questions during his slow crawl toward infinity.

Bye.

It makes the whole experience for ninja's and users easier than if The Soul wasn't in existence. The ninja's don't have to spend a long time messaging each user individually and the users don't have to wait an inordinate amount of time for "Don't bump your topic" and other smaller rule errors.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Crawling towards infinity.

Then why does he never reply?

Who the hell do you think I am?

I think it might be just because it's easier to manage bans.

Or maybe they're just being efficient?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Yeah, if they are going to spend that much time doing stuff here, that would require they be paid for their voluntary jobs.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

It has no point, It has no purpose, It has no reason, It simply is.

Attemping to contemplate The Soul is a dangerous undertaking. It's a multitude of roads, all of which lead to frustration.

Wait, I'm confused. Are you asking me to explain why I declined to explain?

You said you would explain.

Did I? I've always thought that the phrase "would you care to explain" was the same and interchangeable with "would you mind explaining".

So, following that assumption (which may be in error) I was actually telling you that I do mind explaining, and therefor am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

My apologies for any misunderstanding that I may have caused.

Actually, now that I think about it, our current exchange is a good parallel to the idea of contemplating The Soul. It is a lot of thought and misunderstanding that in the end, doesn't mean or accomplish anything of significance.

See what I did? I answered your original question by declining to answer it. Such is the ways of the Disembodied Soul, young padawan.
